The 2nd ISEH

On Dec 5, Gan Zhang attended the 2nd International Symposium on Environmental Health (ISEH) at Shanghai. He gave a key note speech introducing the newly identified up-PCBs in the atmosphere of Ningbo regional atmospheric background station which was done by  Shuduan. It was very cold in Shanghai that day! He also chaired a session on ‘Toxicity characterization of emission sources’ with some ‘old’ friends and excellent young scientists, especially Wang Rong of Fudan-U who published his first paper, while he was a undergraduate student in Peking University, coauthored with Gan, who he haven’t met before! 

Wang Rong (left 2) coauthored with me his first paper in his research career, but this was the first time we met. He is an excellent modeler in atmospheric science. Shown here also are Professor Mu Yujing (left 4) of RCEES.CAS and Mao Hongjun (left 5) of Nankai-U.

Attending ICELS 2018 in Bangkok, Thailand

On November 18-23, upon the invitation from Chaipattana Foundation of Thailand, Lucy and Gan attend the International Conference on Environment,  Livelihood and Service (ICELS 2018) which took place in CW Tower, Bangkok. Gan gave a keynote speak on ‘Fate of POPs in Asia and nexus’.  The two acted as chairs in different sessions. They also visited Pasicha in Chulalongkorn University where they met Professor Wadina Jinsart, head of department of environmental sciences and discussed on future collaboration potentials. The trip ended with a visit to Lam Pak Bia wetland and Amphawa water market.

It was a nice talk.

The talk ended with a Chinese ‘Ci’ I wrote for Thailand 2 years ago. 【玉堂春·暹罗】四方佛地,纤指浓妆骚女。月印湄南,日抹宫玑,十万人家,沃野良田碧。几处唐音陌客羁。  缅甸高棉寮老,相拥何所依?问讯神州,莫道桑榆晚。海上丝绸半岛系。

Haoyu publishes in ES&T

As a gift to the National Day, Haoyu published an important paper in ES&T entitled ‘Using Polyurethane Foam-Based Passive Air Sampling Technique to Monitor Monosaccharides at a Regional Scale’. This is her first ES&T paper. Congratulations!

To be  No 1! I am sure that it will be a benchmark of regional monitoring of biomass burning across the earth planet.

It was a team work . Of the study, Haoyu did the experiment, wrote the manuscript; Guangcai supervised the chemical analysis; Tian Congguo of  YIC coded the computer program/model for counting fire spots within 50 km of each sampling point, based on MODIS fire products;  Yu Zhiqiang helped in managing the field sampling campaign; Li Jun joined discussions and managed the field sampling; Jiaqi, Hongxin, Shizhen helped with the experiment and joined the discussions; Lidia Morawska of QUT joined the discussion and polished the text. Gan Zhang inspired and designed the study.
